After three weeks of stitching I seem to have stitched about one page. The dog's face was confetti heavy and stitching it was slower. And as you can see, there is a good amount of parked threads already.

Today I received a DMC 310 thread cone that I purchased through eBay. It has about 53 skeins worth of thread. Hopefully it will last the rest of my life or at least a few decades. Now I don't have to worry about colour differences between dye batches.

I have noticed one thing now that I'm stitching on two different fabrics at the same time. I much prefer the 25 count DMC Magic Guide to 28 count Lugana. I don't hate the Lugana, but DMC is so much easier. The floss glides through the DMC fabric more smoothly and my floss never slips underneath the fabric threads as it sometime does with Lugana. So I have made a decision. For the future projects that don't require some other than white fabric I'll be using DMC. I do have a piece of Lugana left after Christmas Presence, and I'll use that if I do another huge project. ( I have my eyes on Aimee Stewart's World Travel Bookshelf which is 750 x 542 stitches.)
